I have about 15-20 (that I am seeing) tiny starfish in my tank. They have 5 white arms with a dark body. Are these baby serpents or brittle stars? I have heard of a pest starfish that fits this description. Should I let them go or try to get them out???

Got this branching frogspawn a week ago. He seems to be doing really well. I got him from a friend that had 6heads on one piece so we snapped this piece off. Was curios about the 2 pices on this one with no coral in it. Can I just break them off or is it better to just leave it alone. It looks...

Since I have had him he opens daily and closes at night(just like he should..LOL) I have fed my tank live brine shrimp not sure if he got any or not but I have noticed the stray or feeder tenacles have gone in and he looks alot better than when I first got it. i am trying to...

Thanks for the info. Through more research and these posts I have added a six line wrass. I like it alot. He is constantly on the go through my rocks and looks reaaly cool. The bristle worms I know are benificial but just had too many and didnt want to wait till I lost coral to do something...

I just got 3 frags of zenia from a friend. Was talking to lfs and she said she uses super glue. I tried the net and thought I was squishing it to much so I tried the super glue. What I did was put a SMALL drop of glue to a shell and placedthe shell next to a ledge on one of my rocks where I want...

Originally Posted by alyssia I think most people on here advise using the drip method. It can be different for different fish though, some need longer acclimation than others. I acclimated my yellow tang and kole tang for about 3 hours. With the drip method I have only read about it. I read...

Originally Posted by alyssia You should acclimate for much longer using the drip method. Have done alot of checking with 3 lfs and several people. I cant believe how many differant ways they acclimate.Everything from just temp acclimate and release to 3+ hours. I dont want to keep killing...
